Considering all the classified, NatSec-related launches SpaceX is doing, I’m sure the DoD will be quite interested in understanding precisely what Musk’s logic was.

You don't seem to understand how oligarchies work. Money is power, freedom, and speech. Your level of each is directly proportional to your level of wealth.

Musk is the richest man in the world — he will continue to break the law, continue to be a threat to national security, and he will continue getting away with it.

Until all his companies fail and he isn't wealthy anymore.

Who was the last oligarch to go broke?

They seem to have problems with windows, though, don’t they

Perhaps not 'broke' as in destitute, but broke as in laughed at publicly by essentially everyone he used to wheel and deal with.

Exactly. "Too big to fail" isn't just for the financial sector.
